Four-county parade honors Class of 2020

A parade of teachers, administrators, parents and coaches recently criss-crossed four counties to honor each and every member of the Class of 2020 as part of this month's graduation festivities.

The dedicated team visited each senior, placing yard signs that celebrated the student's individual academic and extracurricular achievements. Click the links for stories in the Tribune Democrat, WJAC-TV and WTAJ-TV and watch this video for a special tribute to a special class.

Mr. Ogline works with students in his Computer Science class and uses Java to help guide them through coding exercises.
Justin Ogline, our Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Arts and Math (STREAM) facilitator for grades 7-12, has been appointed to a statewide committee of education, business and industry experts who will be updating Pennsylvania’s science standards for K-12 instruction. 

As a member of the 60-member Content Committee, he is playing a pivotal role in drafting language and priorities for the revised standards, including the role of STEM in the document.

It's no secret that the Bishop McCort community is generous, giving and supportive.

Your commitment to our mission, vision and values is why Bishop McCort remains a regional educational leader that continues to break new ground in online learning opportunities, STREAM education, the arts and more.
This month, your commitment to our initiatives, as well as to our student-led community outreach efforts, has been remarkable.
The Great McCort Auction

The Bishop McCort community and our donors answered the call when our annual auction quickly moved online in the face of COVID-19 restrictions.

Early this month, our first-ever week of online bidding culminated in a live ZOOM auction hosted by Tom Smith , principal and chief administrative officer and Dale Mishler of Mishler Auction Services. By the end of the evening, we had logged the most successful Bishop McCort auction ever!

As always, proceeds from the event support all student activities, from the arts and athletics to forensics, technology and other programming.

Mini-THON

After COVID-19 threatened to derail Mini-THON 2020, student organizers and their classmates kicked into high gear to make sure the event moved forward - with or without the activities that typically accompany the 12-hour overnight marathon.
The result? A record $36,134 to support the Four Diamonds Foundation at Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital. Check out this video to watch the big reveal, made possible through the generosity of donors like you.

Thank you for your support. It is truly appreciated.
